[Kamen Rider Die]

Thanks for the insightful post, DreamSword! I don't know that I think it overcomes the ways the episode sort of avoids confronting the negative aspects of boosting Daiji by giving him the thing he went crazy not having, but I appreciate how much it resonated with you. It's nice to hear positive things about this show in the thread!

On that note...

Things are veering a little farther from the individual episodes than I like. A lot of the discussion over the last day has stopped being about the Kagerou storyline, and Episode 10 specifically, and into a larger condemnation of the Revice series. That's not exactly what this thread's supposed to be? Beyond starting to become spoilery in its takedown of the larger series structure, it's also sort of a bummer to read about. If you've got specific thoughts on an episode, pro or con, I always want to hear them! Especially if I don't agree with them! I love getting to see a show through someone else's eyes. But if the choice of topic is Revice Is Bad... no thanks? The main thing is -- and this maybe gets missed in posts that criticize elements of the show I feel less enthused about -- I like this show. I like every Kamen Rider show, you guys. I like Revice: I think it's a fun show with a unique hook, and I think it's finding itself in some kind of clever ways. Maybe I won't like it that much by the end, but I'm genuinely enjoying it right this second. I am happy to debate a scene or an episode, but I am not ready to pass judgment on the series as a whole. We can definitely discuss that later in June.

I love hearing from you folks! I love knowing that you've got strong feelings about this show! But please, let's keep it to an episodic discussion about the material, and not sweeping judgments about the series. Thanks! See you tomorrow for Episode 11!
